cover dma-mapping: migrate to physical address-based API

Changelog:
v1:
* Added new DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute to indicate PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE path.
* Rewrote dma_map_* functions to use thus new attribute
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This series refactors the DMA mapping to use physical addresses as the primary interface instead of page+offset parameters. This change aligns the DMA API with the underlying hardware reality where DMA operations work with physical addresses, not page structures.

The series maintains export symbol backward compatibility by keeping the old page-based API as wrapper functions around the new physical address-based implementations.

Thanks

PATCH 3/16 dma-debug: refactor to use physical addresses for page mapping

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Convert the DMA debug infrastructure from page-based to physical address-based mapping as a preparation to rely on physical address for DMA mapping routines.

The refactoring renames debug_dma_map_page() to debug_dma_map_phys() and changes its signature to accept a phys_addr_t parameter instead of struct page and offset. Similarly, debug_dma_unmap_page() becomes debug_dma_unmap_phys(). A new dma_debug_phy type is introduced to distinguish physical address mappings from other debug entry types. All callers throughout the codebase are updated to pass physical addresses directly, eliminating the need for page-to-physical conversion in the debug layer.

This refactoring eliminates the need to convert between page pointers and physical addresses in the debug layer, making the code more efficient and consistent with the DMA mapping API's physical address focus.

PATCH 1/16 dma-mapping: introduce new DMA attribute to indicate MMIO memory

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

This patch introduces the DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute to mark DMA buffers that reside in memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) regions, such as device BARs exposed through the host bridge, which are accessible for peer-to-peer (P2P) DMA.

This attribute is especially useful for exporting device memory to other devices for DMA without CPU involvement, and avoids unnecessary or potentially detrimental CPU cache maintenance calls.

PATCH 7/16 dma-mapping: convert dma_direct_*map_page to be phys_addr_t based

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Convert the DMA direct mapping functions to accept physical addresses directly instead of page+offset parameters. The functions were already operating on physical addresses internally, so this change eliminates the redundant page-to-physical conversion at the API boundary.

The functions dma_direct_map_page() and dma_direct_unmap_page() are renamed to dma_direct_map_phys() and dma_direct_unmap_phys() respectively, with their calling convention changed from (struct page *page, unsigned long offset) to (phys_addr_t phys).

Architecture-specific functions arch_dma_map_page_direct() and arch_dma_unmap_page_direct() are similarly renamed to arch_dma_map_phys_direct() and arch_dma_unmap_phys_direct().

The is_pci_p2pdma_page() checks are replaced with DMA_ATTR_MMIO checks to allow integration with dma_direct_map_resource and dma_direct_map_phys() is extended to support MMIO path either.

PATCH 5/16 iommu/dma: rename iommu_dma_*map_page to iommu_dma_*map_phys

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Rename the IOMMU DMA mapping functions to better reflect their actual calling convention. The functions iommu_dma_map_page() and iommu_dma_unmap_page() are renamed to iommu_dma_map_phys() and iommu_dma_unmap_phys() respectively, as they already operate on physical addresses rather than page structures.

The calling convention changes from accepting (struct page *page, unsigned long offset) to (phys_addr_t phys), which eliminates the need for page-to-physical address conversion within the functions. This renaming prepares for the broader DMA API conversion from page-based to physical address-based mapping throughout the kernel.

All callers are updated to pass physical addresses directly, including dma_map_page_attrs(), scatterlist mapping functions, and DMA page allocation helpers. The change simplifies the code by removing the page_to_phys() + offset calculation that was previously done inside the IOMMU functions.

PATCH 8/16 kmsan: convert kmsan_handle_dma to use physical addresses

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Convert the KMSAN DMA handling function from page-based to physical address-based interface.

The refactoring renames kmsan_handle_dma() parameters from accepting (struct page *page, size_t offset, size_t size) to (phys_addr_t phys, size_t size). A PFN_VALID check is added to prevent KMSAN operations on non-page memory, preventing from non struct page backed address,

As part of this change, support for highmem addresses is implemented using kmap_local_page() to handle both lowmem and highmem regions properly. All callers throughout the codebase are updated to use the new phys_addr_t based interface.

PATCH 11/16 dma-mapping: export new dma_*map_phys() interface

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Introduce new DMA mapping functions dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys() that operate directly on physical addresses instead of page+offset parameters. This provides a more efficient interface for drivers that already have physical addresses available.

The new functions are implemented as the primary mapping layer, with the existing dma_map_page_attrs() and dma_unmap_page_attrs() functions converted to simple wrappers around the phys-based implementations.

The old page-based API is preserved in mapping.c to ensure that existing code won't be affected by changing EXPORT_SYMBOL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL variant for dma_*map_phys().

PATCH 12/16 mm/hmm: migrate to physical address-based DMA mapping API

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Convert HMM DMA operations from the legacy page-based API to the new physical address-based dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys() functions. This demonstrates the preferred approach for new code that should use physical addresses directly rather than page+offset parameters.

The change replaces dma_map_page() and dma_unmap_page() calls with dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys() respectively, using the physical address that was already available in the code. This eliminates the redundant page-to-physical address conversion and aligns with the DMA subsystem's move toward physical address-centric interfaces.

This serves as an example of how new code should be written to leverage the more efficient physical address API, which provides cleaner interfaces for drivers that already have access to physical addresses.

PATCH 13/16 mm/hmm: properly take MMIO path

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

In case peer-to-peer transaction traverses through host bridge, the IOMMU needs to have IOMMU_MMIO flag, together with skip of CPU sync.

The latter was handled by provided DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag, but IOMMU flag was missed, due to assumption that such memory can be treated as regular one.

Reuse newly introduced DMA attribute to properly take MMIO path.

Re: [PATCH v1 01/16] dma-mapping: introduce new DMA attribute to indicate MMIO memory

In reply to Leon Romanovsky
Quoted 10 lines · Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

This patch introduces the DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute to mark DMA buffers that reside in memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) regions, such as device BARs exposed through the host bridge, which are accessible for peer-to-peer (P2P) DMA.

This attribute is especially useful for exporting device memory to other devices for DMA without CPU involvement, and avoids unnecessary or potentially detrimental CPU cache maintenance calls.

It is worth mentioning here that dma_map_resource() and DMA_ATTR_MMIO are intended to be the same thing.

+This attribute is especially useful for exporting device memory to other
+devices for DMA without CPU involvement, and avoids unnecessary or
+potentially detrimental CPU cache maintenance calls.

How about

This attribute indicates the physical address is not normal system memory. It may not be used with kmap*()/phys_to_virt()/phys_to_page() functions, it may not be cachable, and access using CPU load/store instructions may not be allowed.

Usually this will be used to describe MMIO addresses, or other non cachable register addresses. When DMA mapping this sort of address we call the operation Peer to Peer as a one device is DMA'ing to another device. For PCI devices the p2pdma APIs must be used to determine if DMA_ATTR_MMIO is appropriate.

For architectures that require cache flushing for DMA coherence DMA_ATTR_MMIO will not perform any cache flushing. The address provided must never be mapped cachable into the CPU.

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Make sure that CPU is not synced if MMIO path is taken.

Let's elaborate..

Implement DMA_ATTR_MMIO for dma_iova_link().

This will replace the hacky use of DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC to avoid touching the possibly non-KVA MMIO memory.

Also correct the incorrect caching attribute for the IOMMU, MMIO memory should not be cachable inside the IOMMU mapping or it can possibly create system problems. Set IOMMU_MMIO for DMA_ATTR_MMIO.

No issue with pushing the page_to_phys to the looks like two callers..

It is worth pointing though that today if the page * was a MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA page then it is illegal to call the swiotlb functions a few lines below this:

                phys = iommu_dma_map_swiotlb(dev, phys, size, dir, attrs);

ie struct page alone as a type is not sufficient to make this function safe for a long time now.

So I would add some explanation in the commit message how this will be situated in the final call chains, and maybe leave behind a comment that attrs may not have ATTR_MMIO in this function.

I think the answer is iommu_dma_map_phys() is only called for !ATTR_MMIO addresses, and that iommu_dma_map_resource() will be called for ATTR_MMIO?

Convert the KMSAN DMA handling function from page-based to physical address-based interface.

The refactoring renames kmsan_handle_dma() parameters from accepting (struct page *page, size_t offset, size_t size) to (phys_addr_t phys, size_t size). A PFN_VALID check is added to prevent KMSAN operations on non-page memory, preventing from non struct page backed address,

Quoted 4 lines

As part of this change, support for highmem addresses is implemented using kmap_local_page() to handle both lowmem and highmem regions properly. All callers throughout the codebase are updated to use the new phys_addr_t based interface.

Use the function Matthew pointed at kmap_local_pfn()

Maybe introduce the kmap_local_phys() he suggested too.

Comment could be clearer maybe just:

The dma_ops API contract for ops->map_page() requires kmappable memory, while ops->map_resource() does not.

But this approach looks good to me, it prevents non-kmappable phys from going down to the legacy dma_ops map_page where it cannot work.

From here you could do what Marek and Christoph asked to flush the struct page out of the ops->map_page() and replace it with kmap_local_phys().

Convert HMM DMA operations from the legacy page-based API to the new physical address-based dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys() functions. This demonstrates the preferred approach for new code that should use physical addresses directly rather than page+offset parameters.

The change replaces dma_map_page() and dma_unmap_page() calls with dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys() respectively, using the physical address that was already available in the code. This eliminates the redundant page-to-physical address conversion and aligns with the DMA subsystem's move toward physical address-centric interfaces.

Re: [PATCH v1 16/16] nvme-pci: unmap MMIO pages with appropriate interface

In reply to Leon Romanovsky
Quoted 5 lines · Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Block layer maps MMIO memory through dma_map_phys() interface with help of DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute. There is a need to unmap that memory with the appropriate unmap function.

Be specific, AFIACT the issue is that on dma_ops platforms the map will call ops->map_resource for ATTR_MMIO so we must have the unmap call ops->unmap_resournce

Maybe these patches should be swapped then, as adding ATTR_MMIO seems like it created this issue?

This series refactors the DMA mapping to use physical addresses as the primary interface instead of page+offset parameters. This change aligns the DMA API with the underlying hardware reality where DMA operations work with physical addresses, not page structures.

Lets elaborate this as Robin asked:

This series refactors the DMA mapping API to provide a phys_addr_t based, and struct-page free, external API that can handle all the mapping cases we want in modern systems:

- struct page based cachable DRAM
- struct page MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA PCI peer to peer non-cachable MMIO
- struct page-less PCI peer to peer non-cachable MMIO
- struct page-less "resource" MMIO

Overall this gets much closer to Matthew's long term wish for struct-pageless IO to cachable DRAM. The remaining primary work would be in the mm side to allow kmap_local_pfn()/phys_to_virt() to work on phys_addr_t without a struct page.

The general design is to remove struct page usage entirely from the DMA API inner layers. For flows that need to have a KVA for the physical address they can use kmap_local_pfn() or phys_to_virt(). This isolates the struct page requirements to MM code only. Long term all removals of struct page usage are supporting Matthew's memdesc project which seeks to substantially transform how struct page works.

Instead make the DMA API internals work on phys_addr_t. Internally there are still dedicated 'page' and 'resource' flows, except they are now distinguished by a new DMA_ATTR_MMIO instead of by callchain. Both flows use the same phys_addr_t.

When DMA_ATTR_MMIO is specified things work similar to the existing 'resource' flow. kmap_local_pfn(), phys_to_virt(), phys_to_page(), pfn_valid(), etc are never called on the phys_addr_t. This requires rejecting any configuration that would need swiotlb. CPU cache flushing is not required, and avoided, as ATTR_MMIO also indicates the address have no cachable mappings. This effectively removes any DMA API side requirement to have struct page when DMA_ATTR_MMIO is used.

In the !DMA_ATTR_MMIO mode things work similarly to the 'page' flow, except on the common path of no cache flush, no swiotlb it never touches a struct page. When cache flushing or swiotlb copying kmap_local_pfn()/phys_to_virt() are used to get a KVA for CPU usage. This was already the case on the unmap side, now the map side is symmetric.

Callers are adjusted to set DMA_ATTR_MMIO. Existing 'resource' users must set it. The existing struct page based MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA path must also set it. This corrects some existing bugs where iommu mappings for P2P MMIO were improperly marked IOMMU_CACHE.

Since ATTR_MMIO is made to work with all the existing DMA map entry points, particularly dma_iova_link(), this finally allows a way to use the new DMA API to map PCI P2P MMIO without creating struct page. The VFIO DMABUF series demonstrates how this works. This is intended to replace the incorrect driver use of dma_map_resource() on PCI BAR addresses.

This series does the core code and modern flows. A followup series will give the same treatement to the legacy dma_ops implementation.

Thanks for the elaborate description, that's something that was missing in the previous attempt. I read again all the previous discussion and this explanation and there are still two things that imho needs more clarification.

First - basing the API on the phys_addr_t.

Page based API had the advantage that it was really hard to abuse it and call for something that is not 'a normal RAM'. I initially though that phys_addr_t based API will somehow simplify arch specific implementation, as some of them indeed rely on phys_addr_t internally, but I missed other things pointed by Robin. Do we have here any alternative?

Second - making dma_map_phys() a single API to handle all cases.

Do we really need such single function to handle all cases? To handle P2P case, the caller already must pass DMA_ATTR_MMIO, so it must somehow keep such information internally. Cannot it just call existing dma_map_resource(), so there will be clear distinction between these 2 cases (DMA to RAM and P2P DMA)? Do we need additional check for DMA_ATTR_MMIO for every typical DMA user? I know that branching is cheap, but this will probably increase code size for most of the typical users for no reason.

Best regards

First - basing the API on the phys_addr_t.

Page based API had the advantage that it was really hard to abuse it and call for something that is not 'a normal RAM'.

This is not true anymore. Today we have ZONE_DEVICE as a struct page type with a whole bunch of non-dram sub-types:

enum memory_type {
	/* 0 is reserved to catch uninitialized type fields */
	MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE = 1,
	MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT,
	MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX,
	MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC,
	MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA,
};

Few of which are kmappable/page_to_virtable() in a way that is useful for the DMA API.

DMA API sort of ignores all of this and relies on the caller to not pass in an incorrect struct page. eg we rely on things like the block stack to do the right stuff when a MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA is present in a bio_vec.

Which is not really fundamentally different from just using phys_addr_t in the first place.

Sure, this was a stronger argument when this stuff was originally written, before ZONE_DEVICE was invented.

Quoted 4 lines

I initially though that phys_addr_t based API will somehow simplify arch specific implementation, as some of them indeed rely on phys_addr_t internally, but I missed other things pointed by Robin. Do we have here any alternative?

I think it is less of a code simplification, more as a reduction in conceptual load. When we can say directly there is no struct page type anyhwere in the DMA API layers then we only have to reason about kmap/phys_to_virt compatibly.

This is also a weaker overall requirement than needing an actual struct page which allows optimizing other parts of the kernel. Like we aren't forced to create MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA stuct pages just to use the dma api.

Again, any place in the kernel we can get rid of struct page the smoother the road will be for the MM side struct page restructuring.

For example one of the bigger eventual goes here is to make a bio_vec store phys_addr_t, not struct page pointers.

DMA API is not alone here, we have been de-struct-paging the kernel for a long time now:

netdev: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
slab: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
iommmu: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
page tables: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
zswap: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

With a long term goal that struct page only exists for legacy code, and is maybe entirely compiled out of modern server kernels.

Second - making dma_map_phys() a single API to handle all cases.

Do we really need such single function to handle all cases?

If we accept the direction to remove struct page then it makes little sense to have a dma_map_ram(phys_addr) and dma_map_resource(phys_addr) and force key callers (like block) to have more ifs - especially if the conditional could become "free" inside the dma API (see below).

Plus if we keep the callchain split then adding a
"dma_link_resource"/etc are now needed as well.

Quoted 3 lines

DMA_ATTR_MMIO for every typical DMA user? I know that branching is cheap, but this will probably increase code size for most of the typical users for no reason.

Well, having two call chains will increase the code size much more, and 'resource' can't be compiled out. Arguably this unification should reduce the .text size since many of the resource only functions go away.

There are some branches, and I think the push toward re-using DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC was directly to try to reduce that branch cost.

However, I think we should be looking for a design here that is "free" on the fast no-swiotlb and non-cache-flush path. I think this can be achieved by checking ATTR_MMIO only after seeing swiotlb is needed (like today's is p2p check). And we can probably freely fold it into the existing sync check:

	if ((attrs & (DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC | DMA_ATTR_MMIO)) == 0)

I saw Leon hasn't done these micro optimizations, but it seems like it could work out.

Jason

Why just server kernels? I suspect client systems actually run newer kernels than servers do.

I would guess this is because of the people who are interested in this work. Frankly there isn't much benifit for small memory client systems. Modern servers have > 1TB of memory and struct page really hurts here.

The flip side of this is the work is enormous and I think there is a general idea that the smaller set of server related drivers and subsystems will get ready well before the wider universe of stuff a client or android might use.

It is not that more can't happen it just ultimately depends on interest and time.

Many modern servers use quite new kernels if you ignore the enterprise distros :\

Convert the KMSAN DMA handling function from page-based to physical address-based interface.

The refactoring renames kmsan_handle_dma() parameters from accepting (struct page *page, size_t offset, size_t size) to (phys_addr_t phys, size_t size). A PFN_VALID check is added to prevent KMSAN operations on non-page memory, preventing from non struct page backed address,

Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 4 lines

As part of this change, support for highmem addresses is implemented using kmap_local_page() to handle both lowmem and highmem regions properly. All callers throughout the codebase are updated to use the new phys_addr_t based interface.

Use the function Matthew pointed at kmap_local_pfn()

Maybe introduce the kmap_local_phys() he suggested too.

At this point it gives nothing.

Then check attrs here, not pfn_valid.

attrs are not available in kmsan_handle_dma(). I can add it if you prefer.

That makes more sense to the overall design. The comments I gave before were driving at a promise to never try to touch a struct page for ATTR_MMIO and think this should be comphrensive to never touching a struct page even if pfnvalid.

So let's keep this patch as is.

Still need to fix the remarks you clipped, do not check PageHighMem just call kmap_local_pfn(). All thie PageHighMem stuff is new to this patch and should not be here, it is the wrong way to use highmem.

Sure, thanks

I am wondering if there is some reason it was written like this in the first place. Maybe we can't even do kmap here.. So perhaps if there is not a strong reason to change it just continue to check pagehighmem and fail.

if (!(attrs & ATTR_MMIO) && PageHighMem(phys_to_page(phys)))
return;

Does this version good enough? There is no need to call to kmap_local_pfn() if we prevent PageHighMem pages.

Why make the rest of the changes though, isn't it just:

        if (PageHighMem(page))
                return;

Becomes:

        if (attrs & ATTR_MMIO))
                return;

	page = phys_to_page(phys);
	if (PageHighMem(page))
                 return;

Leave the rest as is?
